Wait till the (inevitable) renaming purchase by Comcast.

Does anyone REALLY believe that the company that owns NBC, Universal Studios and the associated theme parks will let anyone (Verizon, etc) put their name on the station their 2 corporate headquarters buildings sit on top of?

Next stop "Comcast Penn Center Suburban Station"

I hope SEPTA negotiates an appropriate fee for this, including separate charges for each level of the station, higher charges for months 7-12, and arbitrarily high "regular" rates that SEPTA can raise at its whim for months 13-24 of the contract.

That seems a cynical outlook. Wouldn't they add "Your ride is very important to us"?

Shouldn't it be "Please hold, we're very important to you...."?

Ever try calling septa customer service Saturday evening?

Perhaps septa should push for enough annual funding to run half hourly lansdale service on Saturday
